Question from Lana

Dear Debra, I am questioning diaper cream that I have been using on my precious little bundle. We use cloth diapers, so I bought cloth diaper safe cream “CJ’s butter”. It has Fragrance oil as one of the ingredients. Oil makes me think essential oil, but it doesn’t say that, it says fragrance. Is this the big red flag for me to toss it? What is fragrance oil? Thank you so much as always, Lana

Debra’s Answer

My understanding is that “fragrance oil” is petrochemical and toxic.

“Essential oil” is the naturally fragrant oil from plants.

I don’t use any products with “fragrance oil” on the label.
